Single Cask Nation Kilchoman Cask #378/07

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Single Cask Nation

ABV: 58.4%

Score: 91 Points

One of the rare independent bottlings of Kilchoman, this comes from a first-fill ex-Bourbon cask and was matured for four years. The nose has moderate peatiness, hints of brine, malt, and a touch of heather. The taste is thick, rich, and mild at first with a crashing wave of peat and pepper that rolls in a few seconds later and sticks to the tongue. Hints of honey, vanilla, and coconut come out as the pepper and peat fade. The finish lingers with soft peatiness and touches of honey, vanilla, and coconut.
